EPA Seeks DOT Data On Hydrogen In Gas Pipelines To Shape Methane Rule

EPA is seeking data from the Transportation Department’s pipeline regulators about whether converting natural gas pipelines to transport lower-carbon hydrogen, as some in industry are weighing, could undermine the integrity of such facilities, noting that such data could help shape EPA’s proposed methane standards for oil and gas equipment. “That’s something that we really want to understand more, is how are pipelines and operations changing? Are we looking at a significant level of hydrogen, methane mixtures here? And what does...
